Rolo Candy

Rolos are the perfect candy to stuff crackers with because they stay soft and gooey even after cooling. I’ve always like unwrapping these gold covered candies. Haven’t you?

The combination of chocolate and caramel is just perfect.

Rolos taste great on their own, but they taste amazing when combined with the saltiness of crackers. Add some more chocolate into the mix and you have what is perhaps my all time favorite snack.

Ingredients

  • Ritz Crackers- I use 44 to make 22 sandwiches but you can make fewer then that if you wish.
  • Rolo Candy- you will need one for each sandwich that you make.
  • Milk Chocolate Chips- Semi-sweet can be used instead.
  • Shortening- helps keep the chocolate from hardening too much. Can use coconut oil instead.

I melted chocolate chips (milk) with a little shortening (helps keep the chocolate from hardening as it cools) to create a chocolate coating- the same way I coat my Buckeye Balls.

You could also use chocolate bark.

If you wanted to make them look festive, you could decorate them with sprinkles. Just be sure to do it before the chocolate sets up so they stick.

Storage

Rolo Stuffed Ritz Crackers can be stored at room temperature once they firm up and will stay fresh in an airtight container for about a week.

How To Serve

They are perfect for an afterschool snack and make a great Christmas candy.
